Check out my new "Utilikilt." It's basically a modern, casual version of a more traditional kilt. Some of it advantages over a traditional kilt include pockets, the fact that it rides on the belt line rather than the waist line, and it's machine washable. And just look at that manly belt! Of course it's comfortable as all hell. I'm not surprised, I've long since discovered how great Cassocks are.
From the Wikipedia article on the subject:
Utilikilt's commercial success is primarily from word of mouth, as the company does not pay for product placement or commercial endorsement and eschews professional models in favor of photos of actual customers. Despite this low-key approach, they grew from sales of 750 kilts their first year to over 11,000 three years later. The company received a big boost in recognition after Richard Hatch donned a Utilikilt on-screen in Survivor: All-Stars. (source)
I haven't tried mine with a clerical shirt, yet, but I'm sure it will look as good as it will feel. Ah, freedom, my brothers!

Practical. Doesn't seem to have that "swing in the back yard" of the dress kilt which, I've been told, could catch one in the back of the knees if swinging too fast.
But freedom? It doesn't act like a skirt with that annoying decorum issue of having to remember to keep the knees together when sitting, squatting, etc?
There is a certain awareness one must have, but because the pleats are so generous, there's lots of fabric to cover what needs to be covered. I find it quite similar to wearing shorts.
